Stormy weather - construction goes on.

With help of industrial flood lights work continues under the cover in the midst of fog and rain.

One more bench was covered with final surface.

And the shower space was painted (in hindsight we should have painted it before putting it up... had to take off the panels and paint in the shop as not to fumigate ourselves.

Tomorrow - propane and starting on electrical. There will be a lot of LED soldering in our future, probably will use a total of 100+ individual ones bundled in rows of three and in 3-6 columns (so 9-18 little lights will make up one light bank). Plus there are two 1600 lumen ThinLights on their way for presentation area (in case we need to show photos at night or during perpetual darkness after some major volcanic eruption...)
